The Presidents southern Visit.

The President has selected u very pleas
ant season of the year 10 visit the South.
The weather is delightful in Atlanta as well
as in this city in October. OF course the
President would hardly think OF coming to
Georgia without visiting Savannah. He
will doubtless find much to interest him at
Atlanta. and the Piedmont fair, which will
be open in October, will be an attraction,
but to see a genuine Southern city-thc
most beautiful city in the South-he must
come to Savannah.
The people of this city would be gratitcd
by a visit from President Cleveland. They
have watched his consistent course and
heartily indorse it. They have noticed
that since his Inauguration there has been a
complete restoration OF good feeling
throughout the entire country and 4 re-
markable industrial awakening in the
South, and they would like to show him
their appreciation Of his administration.
Doubtless his plans have not yet been ar
ranged, but when they are it is sincerely
hoped that they viii include this city as
ouc OF the points to be visited.-.Sapan71zh

nothing left OF the heroes Of the Texan
revolution except the record OF their
acts and the memories Of their appear
ance. The record OF their acts will in
stinctiyelv carry the mind back to tic

records are tit comparisons. Well nay
the citizens Of Corsicana welcome the
few remaining veterans of Texas this
ffty-frst anniversary Of the battle OF
San Jacinto. Well may they welcome
the few men who remain Of those who
threw themselves into the breach and
saved the empire State of the Union.
Ere long the last Of the veteran guard
will be under the sod OF the land they
redeemed and Of which their posterlty
now have the occupancy.

While hunting in the woods he found
an old tom-tom, or drum. It was made
of log about five feet long. A long,
oblong hole was pierced in the top of the
log, which had been dug out as much
as possible. When struck on either
side Of the hole with a stick the log
emitted sound which could be heard
for several miles. The longer the dis
tance the more unearthly the sound.
The Congo method OF execution is
most revolving. Among certain tribes
the person to be executed is taken out
into the market place where he is buried
to his neck in the earth. His brains are
then dashed out and cord fastened
around his neck to which is attached a
stick. This is driven perpendicularly
into the body and both left there to
decay.

G'roaI the Philadelphia Times
There ccc.rs this week the anniversa
ry OF one oG tilc most Interesting ana
eventful battles in american history,
thoneI one but little remembered. Il
IS al anniversary that recalls the strug,
gle Of races OF which the Southern por-
5ion OF this continent Was the scene from
the days OF Christopher Columbus, down
to on. own lime. Spanish settlements
were made il Texas rs early as 1892,
these, however, were merely trading es-
| tabIishmcnts. Texas was formerly
claimed bv both Spain and the United
States, and became the subject Of long
negotiation. between the two govern
mcn:s which resulted in a ralinquish-
mention tie part Of the United States to
the territory ii question. President
jackson maGtc an attempt to purchase
Texas from Mexico, but failed. The
proposition Of jackson to purchase was
opposed by many Of our citizens, who
viewed further extension of territory
rs dangerous to the integrity Of the
Union. Texas had rather been curse
than blessing to any of its numerous
claimants, being first wrested from the
natives by Spain, and regained by the
Nexicans.
In tie year 1921 Stephen T. Austin, a
native OF the State of Connecticut, ap-
peared on Brazos river in Texas to fulfill
and oat contract of his fatEer, who
had obtained a grant for large body OF
land which he was 70 coloniZe. Alr.
A1lStin planted his first colony on the
Brazos river, and being a nan OF un-
common fidelity and enterprise, his in
tercourse with the Mexican government
being marked with rigid compliance
with his engagement, for a number OF
years he had the unlimited confidence
Of the officers OF the government, from
whom lie could receive any favors, and
in return received the unlimited conf
de2ce OF his colonists, and Texas was
fast becoming a valuable domain. The
colonists, with the intelligence, energy
and thrift SO characteristic Of their race,
were making rapid advances in wealth
and comfort, but a crisis arrived, and
war with all its fury and horrors COM
mcnced.
San Antonio and Golaid were in the
possession OF the Texan troops, and a
large Mexican force had been ordered to
operate against them. On the 2lst Of
February, 1856, the Mexican Generals
Sess1na, Filasola and Cos were ordered
TO head one division Of the Mexican
army on San Antonio, Generals inca
and Garory second division against
Golaid, and a third division, command
ed by Santa Anna in person, was to
move as circumstances might require.
The first division Of the Mexican army
appeared before San Antonio on the
End OF February, and of the progress
Of the siege OF the Alamo Colonel
I1arcrs' last letter was on the 3d Of
March. He says: 'I an besieged by
thousands OF SIexicans and with 40 men
| nave defeDled the Alamo for ten days
against force OF 5000, and unless ! get
relief l will perish in its defense" "
Colonel Travers and his gallant band did
perish, as they fell to a man. Their
lives, however were dearly sold, and the
victory gained over them was little bet
ter than defeat.

THE SAN JACINTO.

Santa Anna, flushed with his ill-gotten
success, believed that Texas Was in his
grasp, and with bis remaining force ad-
Tancea upon Houston's small force on
the Colorado river. Houston fell back
to the Brazos river and from that stream
rctreated 10 the San Jacinto river. He
was unwilling to hazard a battle so long
as hopes were entertained OF gaining any
advantage by retreating. He intended
retreating to Nacodoches, where he
knew of reinforcements, and it was not
until after loud complaints from every
quarter he decided to stake his reputa-
ton and the fortunes Of Texas on one
decisive effort.
He was commanding a most determ-
med set OF men who yearned to retallate
for the shameful butchery OF their
friends at the Alamo and Golaid. An
hour before sunset on the 21st Of April,
1886, Houston, with 7S3 men III told,
attacked Santa Anna with 1,5J0 men,
advancing with Tie wax cry, tsRenember
the Alamo The Texans advanced re-
ceiving the Nexicans' fire to within
point blank ShOt before Iney llreu gun.
In less than two hours vanquished foe
lay bleeding On the battle plain. A few
unskilled men were victors over nearly
double their number Of well skilled SOL
diers, who were sltrfeited with treasure
and human blood, and their proud and
naughty chief a prisoner, begging for
quarter and mercy, both Of which were
foreign to his own heart and his Own
mode Of warfare. Santa Anna, the cap.
turcd, Was Z heartless demon. The
world, in all is round OF brutality, had
10 ot!.cr s;s!lt SO bloody and brutal as
the slaughter of Colonel Fannin's band
ut Goliad. Some faint excuse might be
given for the savagery at Alamo while
the blood was hot, but the savagery at
Goliad has al the horrors Of cold, calcu-
lating, Ditiless butchegy.

Trusts the A nOtlecarY.

At banquet given to Mr.. Theodore
Metcalf by the Boston Druggists Asso-
ciation Oliver Wendell Holmes gave his
opinion of apothecaries as follows: 81
have always had great opinion of the
medical advice of apothecaries. The
truth is, they put up the prescriptions OF
the best physicians in the place in which
they live and they have the very cream
of all :heir wisdom at their fingers ends.
So, when l have myself been suffering
from any slight b 'dily Inconvenience,
am ashamed to say-or ought to be,
perhaps-instcad of going to a profess
sional b: other, have quietly crept into
the back room and asked Mr.. Metcalf
what such and such docto: was in the
habit of prescr. .bing.
